My Ninja Turtle build

[sithlordharley]

ok so i dont have pics yet and this is guna be a long time in the making but i figured i would start a thread just so its here... i also have a question.. so im slightly colorblind often confusing colors... im looking to do mikey but what color is his bandana is it yellow or orange? ive been confused since i was 5 lol i just never asked anyone... im also doing a more 80's cartoon style build instead of a movie realistic look

Mike is orange :thumbsup

 

[MooCriket]

Yup, Orange.

That is an awesome pic, that would be great refrence to build a costume off. I really like the original version of these guys, still have all my old comic series. They were far better when they were dark and gritty.

 

[sithlordharley]

goin for the 87 cartoon style ill take progress pics i got the forearm base made but nothing to take pics of its just some foam lol

 

[tubachris85x]

LOL You didn't tell me your gonna make a ninja turtle bro. I still gotta make my Shredder!

 

[sithlordharley]

ya well its guna take me awhile to build lol didnt wana get ur hopes up

 

[JoMamma_Smurf]

Yup, Orange.

That is BAD ASS!!! I wish to God they would make a live action movie gritty like this!!

Leo looks like a punk! But I have always been a fan of Mikey's shenanigans and raphs attitude, even in the new TMNT I really liked his attitude of being the rogue.

I wasn't to big a fan of his emoness in the original 3, although the 3rd one I think was one of the best of the LA ones.

heres an update for everyone heres and hand prototype, this is just a test and has far to many pieces glued together so im going to make a pattern based off these to make it look more neat and less pieces

 

[sithlordharley]

ok so from the prototype i have made a pattern im pretty happy with very cartoony styled hand heres a few pics of then with the forearms and some scrap yellow fabric just to cover where the 2 pieces meet (btw pay no attention the the circle on the inside palm lol i originally had the thumb there and it wasnt very comfortable)

ill have the other hand done tomorrow maybe some other stuff 2 we shall see i plan on making everything first then doing the latex paint

 

[STEALTH]

that pic is incredible, if they only remade them to be more serious like that

 

[sithlordharley]

thanks moo u made this thread all about that dang pic instead of my build lol

Loving how the arm turned out! Is it just upholstery foam? 1/2 inch?

What are you using to glue the seams?

 

[obiwan2]

Arm looks good!

 

[jadedzen]

looking good man. get any other parts done? what type of latex are you going to be using?

 

[sithlordharley]

nothin else done as of now had to use all my foam on a buddies bossk so im now waiting to get more foam to continue

 

[simplyprops]

This project looks really promising, can't wait for more.

 

[jadedzen]

I as well cant wait to see the finished product. Another board member i believe named deckstar did a turtle and its badass. Hope yours is just as awesome.
